Everyday is made up of millions of little moments.
Little moments of clarity, understanding, creativity, beauty, among the chaos of motherhood and life. Those little moments many times offer us a glimpse of the Bigger Picture. The breathe of fresh air that gets us through the mundane day to day tasks. A little push, or validation that we might just be doing things right.
Too often we get caught up in the busyness of the day to day. Caught up in the doing of the moment rather than the living of the moment. We focus on the to do lists, the errands, the obligations. We loose sight of the little things. The small moments of beauty. The Simple Moments that make up the Bigger Picture.
We want to take time and see our simple moments.
We want to see yours.
Every Thursday we want you to share with us your Simple Moments of the past week. Sometimes those moments will be something that helps you see the Bigger Picture. Sometimes it's will be just a simple moment caught on camera, expressed with words. Warm folded laundry, time spent between generations, a journey of faith, watching your little men grow, or just the silly moments that are the characters in your house.
What you share isn't as important ans taking the time to sit down and focus on those Simple Moments. To embrace and remember the moments no matter how small, because they all make up the Bigger Picture of our lives.
So grab our NEW button and share your moment with us over at Sarah's place this week.

Burning Questions of the Damned: Will Crassus and Caesar Outsmart Spartacus?
Marcus Crassus is far craftier and more ruthless than we previously imagined.
[Spoiler alert! If you haven't watched the "Decimation" episode of Spartacus yet, avert your eyes or continue reading at your own risk.]
On Friday's Spartacus: War of the Damned, the deep plan that Crassus (Simon Merrells) conceived was finally revealed: Julius Caesar (Todd Lasance) would infiltrate Spartacus' (Liam McIntyre) group by disguising himself as a fellow (hairy, unwashed) rebel slave. So that's why Crassus didn't want Caesar to cut his hair! "I was so excited when I read Episode 4," Lasance tells TVGuide.com. "That's when the big shift happens with Caesar. This is one of the defining episodes, which triggers what plays out this season."
PHOTOS: TV bad guys we root for
Beyond his military genius, Crassus also revealed his merciless side when he punished his own soldiers who retreated after their botched attack on Spartacus by reviving the practice of decimation - one-tenth of them drawn through random lots would die by the hands of their fellow soldiers. In the end, son Tiberius (Christian Antidormi) was forced to kill his own childhood friend Sabinius (Aaron Jakubenko), who was one of the unlucky ones.
Think that's brutal? The rebel side didn't do much better when it came to inner turmoil and bloodshed. Will Crassus' punishment make his point? Should Spartacus employ harsher practices like his enemy? What will be the fallout of the respective slaughters? Check out our burning questions from "Decimation" below:
Will Crassus outsmart Spartacus? Planting Caesar behind the walls of Sinuessa en Valle isn't the first time Crassus has fooled Spartacus, who only now has realized that he was intended to intercept that fateful message long ago. This epiphany seems to have inspired Spartacus to finally take a more offensive strategy in order to dictate the narrative of this war. But this reaction only proves to demonstrate that he's still a step behind. He needs to be several steps ahead to pull even with Crassus.
How effective will Caesar's cover be? It turns out that the dude isn't kinky after all! But that doesn't mean he's entirely sane. He mutilated his own leg to make it look like he cut off his master's brand in order for the rebels to accept him as an ex-slave. That's just so crazy and dedicated that we don't think he's going to break his cover accidentally. When he eventually reveals his true face to the rebels, it will be under his control and most likely when he's holding a weapon.
PHOTOS: Best TV and movie characters with eye patches
Can Nemetes (Ditch Davey) be trusted? That sneaky German is stealing from Spartacus! It's clear that his ideals don't quite line up with that of the rebel leader and that he's looking out for No. 1. Also, there's that great, prophetic line, when Nemetes assesses Caesar and says, "I believe his loyalties mirror my own."
Can Gannicus (Dustin Clare) forgive Naevia (Cynthia Addai-Robinson)? Gannicus knows all about forgiveness, even when life-and-death mistakes are made, but Naevia didn't so much make a mistake as decided to ignore the facts and let her prejudice lead her to kill his friend Attius (Cohen Holloway). Since Gannicus prefers to drown pain in wine and women, we don't see him seeking out vengeance, but he will always hold that grudge that will affect his ability to trust her. Not a good omen for comrades in arms.
Is Crixus (Manu Bennett) whipped? As one of Spartacus' rebels, Crixus definitely holds his own opinions, but it seems that it's Naevia's counsel that leads him astray. Love your woman, defend your woman, but for the gods' sake, don't let her affect your judgment when it comes to military matters. Alas, it seems that she holds more sway than Spartacus does, and that will come to a head (again) soon. "In the midst of all the chaos and all the war, the two of them really are the ones who speak the same language," Addai-Robinson says. "She guides him, he guides her. They really have that back and forth with each other that we don't really have with the other members of the group. You'll also see how that plays out."
How will Tiberius recover from the decimation? "We were all fascinated by this idea of decimation, about killing every one in 10 soldiers for disobeying," executive producer Steven S. DeKnight says. "What we really wanted to do was show why that happened and the emotional impact of what happened." Since Crassus treated Tiberius as if he were any soldier and not his son, don't expect Tiberius to embrace dear old dad for the harsh lesson. No one can twist souls like the ancient Romans can, and punishments run the risk of teaching resentment and rebellion.
Damndest Death(s):
The rebels killed so many Romans that the streets of Sinuessa en Valle became one big, bloody Slip 'N Slide. And although watching defenseless, shackled people attempt to crawl away from being killed was hard, Sabinius' decimation execution was far, far worse. Not only did we share in Tiberius' psychological trauma of having to kill his BFF, but the slo-mo bludgeoning, featuring fountains of blood and various bones poking through flesh was drawn out to elicit maximum discomfort. Who's being punished here, the soldiers or the viewers? Uncle! Uncle!
Rebels/Romans Say the Damnedest Things:
Crassus: "One must appear as wolf to be welcomed by the pack."
Brictius: "I do not see Gannicus among your nor cause to heed his b----!"
Saxa: "I give cause, b----!"
What did you think of Crassus' harsh lessons and Caesar's undercover job? Does Spartacus have a mutiny on his hands?
Spartacus: War of the Damned airs Fridays at 9/8c on Starz.

Unlike our daily experience, the world of elementary particle physics is mostly symmetrical in time. Run the clock backward on your day and it won't work; run the clock backward on a process in particle physics and things are just fine. However, to preserve certain fundamental aspects of space-time the Standard Model predicts that certain reversible events nevertheless have different probabilities, depending on which way they go. This time-reversal asymmetry is remarkably hard to observe in practice since it involves measurements of highly unstable particles.
New results from the BaBar detector at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) have uncovered this asymmetry in time. Researchers measured transformations of entangled pairs of particles, including the rates at which these transformations occurred. Through analyzing over 10 years of data, they found clear time-reversal asymmetry with an error of only one part in 1043, a clear discovery by any standard. These results are a strong confirmation of predictions of the Standard Model, filling in one of the final missing details of that theory.
A direct consequence of relativity in particle physics is the presence of three related symmetries, known as CPT: charge, parity, and time. Charge symmetry (C) involves operations wherein particles are swapped with their antiparticles; parity (P) deals with interactions that may depend on which direction in space they take place. Time reversal (T) is perhaps the most subtle of the three: some processes are predicted to occur differently depending on their order in time. While our everyday lives demonstrate that time has a definite direction (we get older and more decrepit, a tragically dropped pizza will not spontaneously reform itself and become edible again, etc.), fundamental processes involving particles are almost all reversible.
Together, CPT appears to be a true symmetry of nature, to the best of our ability to test it. However, some interactions involving the weak force (one of the four fundamental forces, along with the strong force, electromagnetism, and gravity) violate the CP symmetries. That means that to preserve CPT, these interactions must also violate T—but that has proven remarkably difficult to demonstrate experimentally.
The key to finding T-violating processes is finding particles that exchange identities through oscillations that can go either way. (This is in contrast to the decay of B mesons, which is irreversible.) The new BaBar results examined transitions of different types of B mesons that can transform into other types, and measured the probability of each process happening. To cite one example: the particle B- can change into B0, and vice versa. If T symmetry is violated, then the probability of a B- changing into a B0 will be different from the reverse process.
The BaBar team performed measurements on 468 million pairs of B and B mesons, produced in the decay of Υ(4S) (upsilon) mesons. They observed T-violation in four different processes and their reverses:
(The mesons denoted with a subscript "+" or "-" refer not to the quark makeup, but to the particular way they decay.) These processes were already known to violate CP, so they were prime candidates for looking for T-violation as well. Additionally, each decay of a Υ(4S) produced a B B pair that, by virtue of their common origin, were entangled: measurement of the spin state of one meson revealed the outcome of measurement of its partner.
By identifying the particular B type (its "flavor" in particle physics parlance) and determining the decay process for each pair produced, the researchers measured the rate of transition of one B meson type to another. Since each pair was entangled upon production, the second meson was necessarily in a complementary state at all times, enabling precision measurement of the different transition routes enumerated above. Entanglement is usually the domain of quantum information and measurement theory, making its application to the T-reversal problem exciting and unique.
Thanks to over 10 years of data, the BaBar team measured T-violation to the 14 sigma level, meaning there is only 1 chance in 1043 that this effect is not real. (For comparison, a positive detection of the Higgs boson last summer was announced at the 5 sigma level.) These results are a strong verification of the predictions of the Standard Model of particles, demonstrating that—at least for some elementary particle processes—the direction of time matters.

Ethiopian Opals are one of the newest additions to the opal family, only discovered in 2008 in the Wollo Province of Ethiopia. They are sometimes referred to as Welo Opals or African Opals.
Ethiopian Opals are usually light in colour and the high grade opals display mesmerising, at times, almost neon flashes of fire. As beautiful as these opals are, they are very temperamental and require special care and handling.
Ethiopian Opals are "hydrophane", which makes them thirsty for water. If the opals come in contact with water, they will absorb it like a sponge. If the opals are left in water and allowed to soak it up, they may lose their fire temporarily and turn yellow or brown. But don't worry, the fire and colour will come back once the opals have fully dried, which can take a few minutes to weeks, depending on how much water they managed to absorb.
Opals are sometimes referred to as "living gems" due to their ability to soak up liquids. Ethiopian opals handle gradual temperature changes well. So when drying an opal that has managed to soak up water and lose its fire, let it dry naturally. Do not try to speed up the process by placing the opals under a hot light or hair dryer.
Because of the opal's "thirstiness", liquids like perfumes, soaps and cleaning products can stains your opals and change their colour. If that happens, try washing them with warm water and wiping with a soft cloth before allowing them to dry on their own.
A lot of jewellers use ultrasonic cleaners to clean gemstone jewellery. While some gemstones can withstand it, Ethiopian opals are more fragile and may crack. To clean your opals, simply wipe away with a soft cloth.
I know that this all seems like a lot of work but because of its beauty its worth.

The Tobacco Products Directive is set to affect those who smoke traditional cigarettes when it comes into force on May 20.
Smokers have been warned that the new rules will ban smaller packs of cigarettes and reduce the sale of menthol flavours.
However, a different part of the laws will also bring about changes in vaping and e-cigarettes. Although vaping itself will not be made illegal under the new laws, new restrictions on the strength of liquids and the size of tanks will be introduced.
We have looked at the different parts of the new law which will affect vapers.
E-liquid bottles over 10ml in size are illegal to sell
IT means large refills are no longer allowed. At the moment, 30ml is a common size, meaning vapers will have to buy several smaller bottles instead.
E-liquids cannot be stronger than 20mg per litre
At the moment the vape liquid can be much stronger than this.
Vape tanks can't be larger than 2ml in size
Perhaps in a bid to cut the amount people are able to vape easily, the maximum permissible size of the tanks has been made pretty small.
Vapers who use larger devices may now find their favourite model is no longer legal.
New labelling including safety warnings
All bottles and devices must now carry safety warnings on the labels
E-cigarettes must be registered
All e-cigarettes and e-liquids must now be registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products regulatory agency.
It will probably mean an end to cheap e-cig products, as they will have to go through proper certification and testing.
Bottles and devices must be labelled with new safety warnings.
Some ingredients banned
Caffeine and taurine (most commonly seen in energy drinks) are now banned from being added to e-liquids. Goodbye, energy boosting vapes.
Any seller not complying with the new laws by May 20 faces up to two years in prison.

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Irrigation canals line Washington's Yakima Valley east of the Cascade Range, transforming a desert landscape into one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world — including crops for some of America's biggest vices.
Thousands of acres of wine grapes dot the landscape, contributing to Washington's No. 2 rank for premium wine production behind California. Farmers grow more than two-thirds of U.S. hops for big beer companies and craft brewers alike, and a large tobacco field is flourishing on a valley Indian reservation.
Now that Washington voters have legalized marijuana, will a region long recognized as one of the country's leading fruit bowls, best celebrated for Washington apples, become known as the vice belt? Not necessarily.
Too many unanswered questions remain about the new law, from how the state will regulate it to whether entrepreneurs or large corporations should lead the way. And the biggest question: the federal government's role going forward.
Marijuana remains illegal under federal law. Many states have approved it for medical use, but only Washington and Colorado have legalized it for recreational use.
The Justice Department has not said whether it will try to block the two states from implementing their new laws, passed late last year. For that reason, key land-grant universities that typically aid the agriculture industry by researching such things as pest control and crop yields — but rely on federal funding to do so — are avoiding the marijuana industry altogether.
In addition, marijuana is a crop that can't be insured, and federal drug law bars banks from knowingly serving the industry.
Any combination of those factors makes farmers leery of planting marijuana in the near term, said Bob Young, chief economist for the American Farm Bureau Federation.
"At this stage of the game, it poses tremendous problems for growers," he said. "Quite frankly, I'd tell one of our members to approach this with great caution."
Both states are in the process of developing rules for a legal marijuana industry. In Washington state, a Liquor Control Board that privatized liquor sales statewide last year on orders of a different voter-approved initiative now is tasked with developing rules governing pot cultivation, processing and sales.
Of the three licenses the board will authorize — grower, processor, seller — the rules for producing marijuana raise the most complex issues, according to Randy Simmons, project manager for the Liquor Control Board.
How many farmers should be allowed to produce marijuana in order to meet demand, and how big should their crops be? Where should they get their seeds? Should a crop be grown indoors or in fields outside?
Dozens of marijuana experts, who have been growing plants for medical use or in secret for illegal use, are educating state officials about the potential for the crop. Probably 95 percent of those people choose to grow their plants indoors, despite higher costs, to control light and temperature, improve quality and increase yields, Simmons said.
Indoor crops generally allow for up to three harvests per season, compared to just one harvest for an outdoor crop, and allow for easier security measures.
As Simmons said, "Somebody out picking a handful of grapes isn't going to get stoned. So if we go through this process and determine outdoor grows are OK, we have to determine security standards."
Security is a concern for Gail Besemer, who grows flowers and vegetables near Deming, Wash., and has expressed interest in a producers' license.
Besemer already has three hoop houses, which are essentially temporary greenhouses, but could see expanding her business slightly to grow marijuana for a local clientele in northwest Washington.
However, "I'm concerned about druggies invading my property — ne'er-do-wells invading my property to steal, to get free dope," she said. "Security would be an issue."
Besemer, who is in her 60s, said she has never grown marijuana or used it, but can see potential for the crop.
"My family is not particularly excited about me being interested in this. But if someone has an integrated farm, growing a number of different crops, I would think it would be a high profit plant," she said. "Taxation and security might get in the way of profits, and it might end not being so profitable.
"I'll just have to wait and see about the regulations," she said.
The Colorado Farm Bureau opposed the law there and says none of its members have expressed interest because they are unwilling to take the risk, according to Nicholas Colglazier, the group's director of public policy.
Few traditional farmers, like Besemer, have expressed interest in Washington.
Simmons acknowledged that there are still many unanswered questions, but said answers will come with new state regulations this year. But he said he could envision an industry that allows for both boutique growers with higher quality marijuana and large outdoor growers to get a cheaper product on the market.
"You're always going to see people looking for specific strains and varieties," he said. "It's like drinking Budweiser or a microbrew."

Controlling Recirculation Loop Heat Losses
By Mary Sue Lobenstein
Stop going around in circles about what to recommend for multifamily buildings with attached recirculation loops. Here are two options that offer proven energy savings and a two-year payback!
Domestic hot water heating accounts for 15-27% of the total energy use in a typical Minneapolis apartment building, not counting energy used for lighting and electric appliances. A major factor is the presence of a return piping system, common in buildings of 40 units or more with central water heaters. In this system, hot water is constantly recirculated so that it is readily available at taps, preventing a long wait for hot water to be drawn from the water heater to remote parts of the building (see Figure 1). Usually uninsulated, this loop system can be a large source of heat loss. For instance, studies indicate that loop losses amount to 7-46% of total water heater energy use.1 That's a lot of hot showers!
Most recommendations for reducing energy costs in recirculation systems are fraught with disadvantages. For instance, insulating the loop to reduce heat loss, while a good idea for new construction, is impractical as a retrofit since recirculating lines in existing buildings are usually inaccessible. Reducing supply temperatures is a sensible strategy, but depending on demand during peak periods, reductions are not always possible. Because domestic hot water heater use is subject to strong hourly fluctuations, turning off the recirculation pump during periods of low demand, such as at night, is another common approach. The disadvantage is that tenants do not always have the same schedule. Those who need hot water when the pump is off may face a long wait, which can lead to complaints. Turning pumps on and off can also cause premature failure of the coupling. An alternative solution is to reduce loop temperature during light demand. This reduces loop losses, and keeps hot water available continuously.
Recirculation At Lower Temperatures
The standard control on a commercial tank-type water heater used in a multifamily building is a fixed temperature aquastat, which keeps temperatures inside the heater and recirculation loop constant, generally at the setpoint needed to meet maximum demand. High demand periods though usually only occur once or twice a day, and then for only a few hours at a time. A better idea is a control that adjusts temperatures up to a high setpoint when the demand increases, and down to a low setpoint when demand decreases. Controls that provide such an automatic adjustment range from simple mechanical timers, to complicated electronic controls with internal memory that can learn patterns of use, anticipate demand, and adjust the temperature setting accordingly.
This retrofit saves energy three ways:
The first time I heard about this kind of retrofit, it came from the lips of a salesman. I found his suggestion interesting, but was skeptical of his estimates that his control would save 20% of domestic water heater energy use. After all, he was talking to someone who had heard claims of 20% savings for just about every new energy conservation gizmo to hit the market in the last fifteen years. But it did seem like a good idea. So good, that we (in conjunction with the St. Paul Energy Resource Center) decided to test it in three buildings.2
The three test sites were apartment buildings built after 1970 with central gas-fired, zoned hydronic heat, and central water heaters. Two sites had 39 units and 78 tenants, while the third had 47 units and 75 residents. The sites were small for multifamily buildings with recirculation loops, but fairly typical for the area. They were large enough that potential savings warranted the expense of the controls we tested. All three buildings had on-site laundries, and two had dishwashers. Each site had two conventional, commercial, gas-fired, tank-type water heaters plumbed in parallel with connected recirculating loops. The recirculation loops in these buildings were uninsulated. All water heaters had standing pilots, no vent dampers, and had rated inputs of roughly 200,000-250,000 Btu/hr.
We retrofitted the domestic hot water systems in each building with two types of controls that provided automatic temperature adjustment. We used an electronic time-based control made by Goldline, with fixed setup and setback temperatures and times, as well as a seven-day program. We also used the Pro-Temp PT-5000, an electronic demand-based control which actually monitors firing time on the water heater (interpreting increased firing as higher demand and decreased firing as lower) and adjusts system temperatures up or down accordingly.3
Measuring Up The Controls
We rotated regulation of the domestic hot water system among three control strategies for consecutive one-week periods throughout the year-long study.
Throughout the year, operation of the hot water system in each building was monitored with a computerized data acquisition system collecting hourly average data including: heater run-time and events, hot water supply, return loop, cold water inlet, boiler room and outside temperatures, and water volume.
Crunching The Data
To develop a model of energy use for each of the three control strategies, we used the data to calculate daily inputs and outputs for each control mode. We then performed a linear regression analysis of daily heat input versus output for each control mode (see Figure 2).
After computing a normalized annual water heater output (in Btu/hr) for each control mode at each building, we plugged it into the regression equation to estimate an annual input (Btu/hr) corresponding to each control strategy. We could estimate savings by comparing estimated inputs among control modes. We used PRInceton Scorekeeping Method (PRISM) to analyze whole building gas use, and compared it among modes to evaluate the impact of the controls on overall energy use. (See PRISM: A Tool for Tracking Retrofit Savings, HE, Nov/Dec '87, p. 27, and Now that I've RUN PRISM, What Do I Do with the Results? HE, Sept/Oct '90, p. 27.)
Seeing Is Believing
We found that the aquastat control required the greatest energy input of the three control options. In addition, in most instances, the time-based control required more input than the demand-based control to meet a given demand. Were these savings significant?
Well, the salesman was in the ballpark! The calculated savings for the time control over the aquastat averaged 10%. And the demand controls saved even more (see Table 1). We assumed that the difference in normalized annual output among control modes was due to reduced demand for fixed volumes of hot water for dishwashers and washing machines in the time- and demand-based modes. Installed costs and paybacks for the three strategies are shown in Table 2.
The savings had a seasonal bias, with the highest savings in the summer months (June, July, and August) and the lowest savings in the winter (November, December, January, February, and March). For the time control, summer savings averaged 14%, compared to 11% in shoulder months and 8% in the winter. Similarly the demand control saved an average of 28% in the summer, 18% in the shoulder, and 10% in the winter months. The reason for the seasonal difference was unclear, but may have been related to increased winter demand as a result of lower inlet water temperatures and higher heat loss from the recirculation loop. In addition, consumption levels and demand peaks are greater in winter, therefore cycling and system losses do not play as important a role in energy consumption, possibly resulting in the lower savings we observed. In any case, it is important to note that short-term monitoring of these types of controls may not yield an accurate picture of yearly savings.
PRISM analysis of whole building gas use showed a trend toward lower consumption in the time-based mode, compared to the aquastat mode, and even lower consumption in the demand-based mode. Since the change in gas use for the retrofits was small compared to overall gas use in the buildings, the differences among modes were not statistically significant. Still, the results corroborated the intensive data we collected. Further, there was no trend toward increased energy use for space heating under either test control. Such an increase might have been expected if recirculation loop losses contributed significantly to useful heat gain in the buildings.
This Is Great, But Does It Do the Dishes?
Since tenant satisfaction was as important to evaluate as how much energy the controls saved, we asked the caretakers to carefully log any problems during the first two months of operation. They recorded no complaints although at Site 3 the caretaker felt that during the time control mode, the hot water temperature was too low for various cleaning duties. As a result, the time control at Site 3 was eventually reprogrammed to set back only at night. Tenant surveys conducted in all three buildings and in a control building revealed no significant pattern of complaints between control modes or buildings. Apparently, the controls did not cause difficulties for the tenants (see box Permanent Reductions an Option?).
It Doesn't Take A Brain Surgeon To Operate
One doesn't need an advanced degree to operate either of the controls, but the time control was harder to use. The time-based equipment was also complicated to install and required a second visit by the contractor to correct faulty wiring which initially caused the timers to operate in reverse.4 Although the manufacturer provided good instructions, we found programming the timers difficult compared to programming standard setback thermostats. Since programming was not intuitive, keeping instructions available in the boiler room was imperative because the time controls required periodic adjustments for daylight savings time changes, clock inaccuracies, and program losses. In contrast, the demand controls were installed by factory-trained contractors without any glitches. The program itself was preset at the factory, and the settings proved satisfactory. Operators can make adjustments to the demand control on-site, through a series of covered, recessed screws. This requires a separate display unit--an additional $500--to accurately complete the adjustments. Consequently, adjustments to the factory program are typically only made by the contractor at the time of installation. This may seem like a disadvantage, but it is actually an advantage. Our experience is that control settings which are not obvious are less likely to be overridden or tampered with. We think the demand-based control is more foolproof than the time-based control.
Defective controls had to be replaced within the first month of operation. One of the time controls was defective, as was one of the demand controls. These problems were revealed by intensive monitoring. We received no tenant complaints during this period.5 In a typical installation of the demand control some monitoring is performed by factory authorized installers. We strongly recommend such a monitoring service when either type of control is installed.
The strategy of lowering water heater tank and recirculation loop temperatures during periods of low demand is worthwhile, even in relatively small multifamily buildings of 35-50 units. The time-based control we tested in three buildings had a mean savings of about 10% of annual water heater energy costs, while a demand-based control we tested in the same three buildings had a mean savings of 16%. Corresponding paybacks were about two years for either control, but given the higher savings potential and ease of operation for the demand control, it is probably the better strategy. Also, the building operator is less likely to override the demand control. Initial malfunctions with each of these controls leads us to recommend that contractors include a monitoring service for a brief period after installation to ensure proper operation.

2. The major source of funding for this research was oil overcharge money provided by the Energy Resource Center of St. Paul, Minn., through a grant from the Legislative Committee on Minnesota Resources (Contract #021140-03535). Additional financial support was supplied by Minnegasco Inc., a Minnesota-based gas utility. A copy of the final report can be obtained by contacting CEUE, 510 1st Ave. N., Minneapolis, MN 55417.
3. The control was selected from products made by one manufacturer that holds the patents on demand-based domestic hot water temperature controls. Because of the small building sizes (and hence a smaller hot water load), the least expensive demand control option, which also had the simplest control strategy, was selected for these tests. It should also be noted that this particular control is most appropriate for tank-type water heaters. The manufacturer recommends more complex demand controllers for set-ups in which water is heated by a boiler or by a separate Burkay-type (A.O. Smith) heater with a storage tank.
4. The timers initially lowered temperatures at times of highest demand and vice versa. It should be noted that this was the first time the particular contractor had installed a control like this. Presumably future installations by the same contractor would not have this specific problem.
5. It's not too surprising that no tenants complained about the defective demand-based control. Although not operating properly, it did provide a constant 130deg.F water temperature, which may have been adequate to prevent complaints. However, it is surprising that no tenants complained in the case of the time control malfunctions, since these controls were providing water at the lowest setpoint temperatures during periods of highest demand.

Note: Fuel cost 50cents per 100,000 Btu (one therm).
Permanent Reductions an Option?
Domestic hot water use profiles generated during operation of the demand-based control indicate that in at least one case (Site 1) the temperature of the water heaters can be permanently reduced (in this case, from 140deg.F to 130deg.F). As a result, some of the savings seen in this study may be achieved if building operators reduce system temperatures. It is reasonable to expect that operators will follow through on such a simple recommendation, but our experience is that in practice, building operators are extremely reluctant to make any changes that may result in tenant complaints. A well-intentioned owner or caretaker may think turning down the domestic hot water tank temperature is a good idea and may even plan to do it, but often he or she never actually gets into the boiler room to follow through. Even if the recommendation is carried out, it is often reversed at the first complaint. Prior to the study, the three building operators in the test sites were all asked if they ever tried turning down the hot water temperatures in their buildings. All said they had, but that the current setpoint was the lowest temperature which satisfied demand and prevented complaints.

The offset printing industry was revolutionized through the introduction of digital design methods in combination with mechanical production. this development has not yet affected traditional letterpress and relief printing methods, which have since been marginalized.
Wood type now! seeks to transform these traditional mechanical production methods into the 21st century by revolutionizing the way that prints are designed and produced by incorporating new peripheral hardware (i.e. lasercutter). through the process of exploring the possibilities in regards to materials used and the way the classic printing block and set up are interpreted, the project redefines the conventional boundaries of the subject matter – as opposed to recreating a status quo with new means – and unlocks new frontiers.
This research catalog in form of a web-site, documents the design-principles and –techniques wich have been aquired through extensive practical tests. the potential is further expressed by the design and production of a poster series. the catalog, as well as the exemplary translation, are meant to show a broad range of possibilities in a contemporary context without trying to be conclusive, rather inviting further experimentation and interpretation.
I know this is the second post in a row that features woodblock typography/printing but, I couldn't resist. It's nice to see different ways to approach letterpress printing.

David C. Nielsen, Research Agronomist with the USDA-ARS Central Great Plains Research Station in Akron, was a member of a team of scientists receiving one of six CO-LABS Governor's Awards for High Impact Research.
The team award was presented by Gov. John Hickenlooper at the University of Colorado in recently to theroot zone water quality model (RZWQM2) development team of eight USDA-ARS scientists at Ames, Iowa, Akron and Fort Collins.
Annual CO-LABS awards recognize achievements at Colorado's 24 federal labs and other research facilities.
The RZWQM2 is a comprehensive cropping systems model that simulates the effects of changes in management practices (tillage, planting date, fertility, plant population), climate variability, soil condition, irrigation management, etc. on crop production and yield. Results from model simulations are used to identify and guide water saving practices that enable Colorado farmers to sustain food production with increasingly limited water supplies.
Model results have also been used to devise systems to protect water quality throughout the United States and internationally.
The RZWQM2 has been used to generate data that farmers use in assessing production risk associated with making changes to cropping systems, as well as to help scientists understand the complex interactions between weather, soils, and crops that ultimately affect profitable crop production.

A couple of years ago, I got a copy of William Gass's The Tunnel and burned through the first 100 or 200 pages of it before some shiny object distracted me and I put the book down. I had considered starting up a group read here sometime to force myself to pick the book back up and finish it. In fact, it was included among options for future reads on a poll I posted after the Gravity's Rainbow read. Well, Scott Esposito over at Conversational Reading has scheduled a group read on the coattails of Gaddis's J R. If you're game, you can see the (I think) ambitious schedule here. Although I doubt I'll have it in me to write much about the book, I hope at least to read along.
In progress on the wallace-l mailing list is a reread of Infinite Jest. This reread is part of why I won't be putting as much time as I'd like into The Tunnel. I haven't reread IJ since Infinite Summer a few years ago, and I had been wanting to. When D.T. Max's biography came out, it made me really want to dig back into Wallace's book again. And then the wallace-l reread was proposed and I was hooked. You can get a peek at the schedule here. I'll be introducing the second chunk on the mailing list in a couple of days. It won't be a group read proper here at IZ, so if you want to play, I encourage you to subscribe to the mailing list, where you'll get a broader and smarter range of opinions and interpretations than mine anyway.
I hate that these reads are happening at the same time, as the result'll be that I'll do kind of half-assed reads of both. I've been through IJ enough times that I can afford to half-ass it, but The Tunnel's a different story. Still, I can't resist trying to keep up with IJ too.

For a few instants after the Big Bang, the Universe was hot and dense enough to fuse hydrogen into helium and lithium. But this period of time was transitory. Heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, and the like, didn't have time to form; they were the product of stars that only appeared hundreds of millions of years later. Modern galaxies still contain ancient stars with a composition corresponding to early times. However, there is a significant gap in our knowledge: no direct detailed chemical data from the first billion years of the Universe has been available.
Now a study of a quasar from 772 million years after the Big Bang has helped fill in that gap. Robert A. Simcoe and colleagues measured the absorption of light by gas immediately around the quasar, and determined it to be nearly devoid of elements heavier than helium. Their results leave two possibilities. If the hydrogen gas was part of an early galaxy, then it could have been part of the environment in which early (as yet unobserved) stars could form. Alternatively, if the gas was part of intergalactic space, it indicates that the first stars formed somewhat later than many models predicted.
The process of building chemical elements via nuclear fusion is known as nucleosynthesis. During the first few minutes after the Big Bang, conditions were right to produce most of the hydrogen, helium, and lithium in the cosmos, a process called Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). Heavier elements, known (perversely) by astronomers as "metals", were later produced in stars via stellar nucleosynthesis, and distributed into interstellar space as those stars died.
Modern galaxies like the Milky Way contain populations of stars that we can divide based on their metal content. The Sun is a Population I star, with a relatively high metal abundance; older, Population II stars near the galactic center are metal-poor. However, the earliest, metal-free stars—known as Population III—are still hypothetical. According to widely accepted models, Population III stars were massive and therefore short-lived, going supernova and spreading the first metals into interstellar space.
When did these first stars form, and did they actually correspond to our models? These questions are still unanswered. The crucial period of time when the first stars must have formed is still marked by a paucity of data.
The researchers in the present study used the Baade telescope, one of the twin Magellan telescopes at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. They analyzed the infrared spectrum of the quasar ULAS J1120+0641, which emitted its light 772 million years after the Big Bang. (Quasars are bright beams of light emitted by supermassive black holes; they are some of the only objects that can be seen at such vast distances.)
Comparing the predicted spectrum of an ideal quasar to that of ULAS J1120+0641, the astronomers found an anomalously large amount of hydrogen absorption from neutral hydrogen atoms in the quasar's immediate environment, and no significant indication of metals.
The unusual aspects of the spectrum indicate either a high density of neutral hydrogen very close to the quasar, or a more diffuse cloud around it. These options carry very different implications. If the hydrogen is close to the supermassive black hole, then it likely was part of a protogalaxy: a collapsing cloud of gas and dark matter that would eventually form a galaxy. In that case, the total environment would be conducive to the formation of Population III stars (though the Magellan data would not be sufficient to observe them).
On the other hand, if the neutral hydrogen formed a diffuse cloud, then it would suggest the first stars didn't form until a later date. If stars were already present at the time the quasar emitted this light, their output would ionize the hydrogen, changing the absorption spectrum.
Of course, one quasar doesn't provide a definitive case study of the entire environment 772 million years after the Big Bang. The earliest stars didn't all form at once, so it's unwise to extrapolate from this one quasar to the entire early Universe. Nevertheless, this observation provides an interesting preliminary case study, bringing us closer to a picture of the environment in which the first stars formed.

After fallout from the leaked fundraiser video and comments about the "47 percent," Mitt Romney's strategy is to tell voters about how his father benefited from welfare. He emphasized the "100 percent" of Americans he wants to help in a speech on Wednesday. Mark McKinnon, Gloria Borger and Alice Stewart react to his new message.
Post by: Wolf Blitzer
Filed under: 2012 Election • Economy • Keeping Them Honest • Mitt Romney
I have never seen a presidential candidate do deceitful, and so wrong for this country. How can he feel for struggling Americans, when the average person can't even donate $5 to charity but MItt donates Millions? Sometimes I feel with Romney were going backwards where Church ruled the state. Women in Mitt's eyes are suppose to be in the kitchen and making babies, he feels empowered to tell women they can't have abortions. In the 60's this trend of thought was real, but not in today's world, so Romney needs to wake up from the past and act on the present.
so it's ok for Romney's dad to use the welfare system to help his family out of poverty but it's not for the average American family?
Bullying the American taxpayer again! Putting taxpayer's against each other is diverting tactic to avoid the problems within collections. If we collected at 100%, then problem solved. So, who will support that platform? The IRS want to help the taxpayer. They want to collect 100%. We should help each other out... We all need each other. Everyone is a pay check or two away from needing assistance. The problem is bullying the taxpayer so they fight each other instead of changing the laws.. There is plenty of money but the IRS can't get it because of lawyers beating the system...Bully America and create classes... The American Dream should be of a society that is free of class restrictions so each individual can pursue their dream. However, the taxpayer and voter are bullied by the power of the government. Bullying is a part of the election. We, the taxpayer are being bullied for our votes.. When will bullying the American taxpayer stop so we can vote for our president as a leader.

Tonight, award-winning vocalist Sara Gazarek shares songs from her album Blossom & Bee for Jazz at LACMA. (Note, this weekend Jazz at LACMA will take place on the Los Angeles Times Central Court, outside of our Chinese and Korean art galleries.)
Heads up for anyone planning a visit to LACMA on Saturday: the museum is closing at 3pm due to a special event.
It's not just any special event—it's our annual Art+Film Gala, an important fundraiser for the museum that will also honor Ed Ruscha and Stanley Kubrick, both of whom have exhibitions on view at LACMA this fall. Ed Ruscha: Standard is on view now and presents numerous iconic prints and paintings by the artist from throughout his long career.
You may have already started to see some articles on Stanley Kubrick (like in the New York Times and Hollywood Reporter, among others). The exhibition opens to the public next week, on November 1. However, there are two ways to see it even sooner. First—become a member! Only members can see the exhibition starting this Sunday. And don't forget: Stanley Kubrick will be a specially ticketed exhibition, but members get two free tickets. Likewise, Bodies and Shadows: Caravaggio and His Legacy opens November 11 and is also specially ticketed—members get free tickets and early previews for that, too. It just makes sense to join now. Or, here's another way to see Kubrick early: come to the annual Muse Costume Ball on Wednesday! The party will have a definite Kubrickian vibe, and guests will have the chance to see the exhibition while enjoying the festivities.
On Saturday afternoon, in advance of the opening of Stanley Kubrick, Elvis Mitchell will be in conversation with Jan Harlan, Kubrick's longtime executive producer, about the legacy of the great filmmaker. Following the conversation, Harlan will screen his documentary Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures.
There's plenty to see and do beyond Kubrick. The stunning Drawing Surrealism just opened last week, as did Robert Mapplethorpe: XYZ. Also on view are exhibitions for Ken Price, Michael Heizer, and Walter De Maria, as well as French ceramics, expressionist cinema, and more.
Bring the kids on Sunday for free art-making activities during Andell Family Sundays, or enjoy the free Sundays Live concert in the evening, this weekend featuring pianist Jason Cutmore performing pieces by Haydn, Liszt, and more.

Bonefish Grill Menu
You can create your dish to your liking.
Openings: Lunch & Dinner daily
- Dress code: Casual
- Full bar
- Kid-friendly
- Take-out available
Bonefish Grill Restaurant Review:
Yes, Bonefish Grill is a chain --- but this seafood emporium is definitely not a weak link. The menu includes a wide variety of fresh fish each evening, with a standard line-up of sauces from which diners can create a custom entrée. Grilled filets arrive at the table caramelized outside, tender and slightly translucent inside. Although they are known for their grilled fish selection, the chain also offers sautéed and baked items. Sauces range from a sweet and zesty warm mango salsa to a classic lemon butter sauce that works well as a delicate complement to any fish selection. Those not feeling fishy can opt for a number of landlubber favorites, including chicken Marsala and USDA Choice filet mignon. The bar menu boasts innovative martinis and rocks beverages made with fresh ingredients. Other locations.

Apple appears to be reaping the benefits as more and more feature phone users trade up to smartphones. The company carved out a huge chunk of AT&T and Verizon smartphone sales for the second quarter of the year, according to financial results released by both companies.
AT&T announced on Tuesday that 62 percent of its total subscribers are using smartphones. The company sold 5.1 million smartphones in the second quarter, representing 77 percent of its postpaid device sales. While iPhone sales are down from the last quarter—a typical slowdown that comes as the prospect for a next-generation model approaches—AT&T sold 3.7 million iPhones, or 73 percent of its smartphones sales in the last three months.
This follows Verizon's announcement that 50 percent of its subscriber base is now using a smartphone, and the company sold 5.9 million total in the second quarter. As with AT&T, iPhone sales declined sequentially, but the 2.7 million iPhones that Verizon sold represent 45 percent of its smartphone sales.
Combined, the iPhone netted 58 percent of smartphone sales from the two largest US carriers, which share two-thirds of the US mobile market. Most of the remaining sales were shared among various Android device makers.
Sprint, which has about one-sixth of the US mobile market, also sells iPhones, though it hasn't announced figures for the second quarter of this year. T-mobile, holding a 10 percent share, still does not offer any Apple devices. Apple did expand iPhone sales late in the quarter by tapping into the pre-paid market, with the iPhone 4S now available from Virgin Mobile and Cricket.
Apple will announce its own quarterly financial results this afternoon, with global iPhone sales expected to top 30 million. Be sure to check Ars for our live coverage of Apple's quarterly call at 4pm CDT.

After many delays, computer peripheral manufacturer Belkin finally put its long-promised Thunderbolt docking station up for sale on its online store for $299. The peripheral was originally announced way back in 2011, and a near-final version was showed off at this year's CES, but this is the first time the peripheral has been offered for sale.
The dock offers a gigabit Ethernet jack, three USB 3.0 ports (each capped at 2.5Gbps, about half of the theoretical maximum), a FireWire 800 port, audio-in and audio-out jacks, and two Thunderbolt ports. One of those ports is used to connect the dock to your computer, and the other can be connected to a display or another Thunderbolt peripheral; up to five additional devices can be daisy-chained to it at a time.
When Apple debuted Intel's Thunderbolt connector in its 2011 Mac lineup, the interface seemed promising—here was a high-bandwidth connector that could potentially bring desktop-esque expandability to slim laptops and tablets. The reality has been a bit less rosy: low adoption in PCs, issues with licensing and cost, and ever-widening adoption of the usually-fast-enough USB 3.0 standard have put a crimp in Thunderbolt's style. Most products that use the interface have, to date, been either expensive professional storage products or Apple's own Thunderbolt display. Matrox also has a Thunderbolt dock with fewer ports available for $249, but promises of more exotic things like docks for high-powered graphics cards have largely failed to materialize.

Billy Joel, four others receive Kennedy Center Honors
WASHINGTON - The "Piano Man" who became one of the world's best-selling artists of all time with such hits as "Just the Way You Are," ''Uptown Girl" and "Allentown" was awarded the nation's highest honor Sunday for influencing American culture through the arts.
Billy Joel joins Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock, opera star Martina Arroyo and actress Shirley MacLaine in receiving the Kennedy Center Honors. All of them have been playing music, dancing or singing since they were children - and they have never stopped.
Joel said the honor stands apart from his six Grammys.
"This is different. It's our nation's capital," he told The Associated Press. "This is coming more from my country than just people who come to see me. It's a little overwhelming."
The 64-year-old musician born in the Bronx has been playing the piano since he was a boy, growing up on New York's Long Island. There was always music in the house, he said. His mother sang. His father played the piano.
Impressing girls, though, is what hooked Joel into making a career of music, he said.
Joel just announced a 2014 concert series at Madison Square Garden in New York "to avoid schlepping around the world," but he still plans to play concerts nationwide.
President Barack Obama saluted the honorees Sunday night, and top entertainers will offer tribute performances for each honoree. The show will be broadcast Dec. 29.
"The diverse group of extraordinary individuals we honor today haven't just proven themselves to be the best of the best," Obama said. "Despite all their success, all their fame, they've remained true to themselves - and inspired the rest of us to do the same."
On Saturday night, Secretary of State John Kerry hosted the honorees for a black-tie dinner at the State Department.
Garth Brooks toasted Joel at the dinner, saying his legacy would live on for generations. He said Joel has a special talent for writing songs about everyday people, from steel workers in "Allentown" to soldiers fighting in Vietnam in "Goodnight Saigon."
"Music has a wonderful gift," Brooks said. "For those that do it right, they can put you in shoes that you would never understand if it wasn't for that song."
Santana, 66, a Mexican immigrant who began learning English from American television, is one of only a few Latinos who have received the honor so far.
Santana first picked up the guitar after hearing blues and rock 'n' roll on the radio. He has said his career is about bridging cultures and fusing sounds to create something new. He grew up with the Woodstock generation after moving to San Francisco, but is perhaps best known for his album "Supernatural." It won nine Grammys.
Hancock, 73, got his start at the piano at age 7 while growing up in Chicago. Soon he was playing Mozart and discovered jazz in high school. He joined the Miles Davis Quintet in 1963 and later set out to create his own sounds, fusing jazz, funk, pop, gospel, soul and the blues. He has won an Oscar and 14 Grammy Awards so far.
Arroyo found opera while imitating the singers outside an opera workshop when she was growing up in Harlem. Soon she was signing a contract with New York's Metropolitan Opera and had a breakthrough with "Aida" in 1965. She went on to star in the great opera houses of London, Paris and Vienna.
MacLaine, 79, has been acting on stage and screen for six decades ever since she began ballet at age 3. Her film debut came in 1955's "The Trouble with Harry," directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and she won the Oscar for best actress for "Terms of Endearment" in 1983. More recently she's been playing a role in "Downton Abbey" on PBS.
MacLaine's younger brother Warren Beatty also has won a Kennedy Center Honor, making them the first brother and sister to both receive the honor.
